Talk:Jeanette (singer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I propose that this article be moved to "Jeanette (singer)" seeing as how Jeanette is her stage name, and the name "Jeanette Dimech" is not correct either. Her birth name is Janette Dimech, without the initial E. When she released her first solo single, the record label made a mistake and spelled her name "Jeanette" and that has been her stage name ever since. However, she has never been referred to as "Jeanette Dimech". My source is the liner notes to her compilation "Todas sus grabaciones en Discos Hispavox con PIC-NIC y en solitario (1967-1976)". In the liner notes she says the following:
La casa de discos preparó muy bien las cosas, aunque se equivocó en una: mi nombre. Porque siendo yo inglesa de nacimiento en Inglaterra mi nombre se escribe Janette, sin la primera "e". En fin, la cosa no tenía demasiada importancia, pero definitivamente me quedé para siempre como Jeanette a partir de la portada de mi primer disco.
Translation:
The record label prepared everything very well, although they made one mistake: my name. Because with me being English by birth in England, my name is written Janette without the first "E". In the end, it wasn't that important, but I would forever remain known as Jeanette ever since my first album cover.
As we can see, her legal name is Janette Dimech, but her stage name is Jeanette. Therefore, Jeanette Dimech is an incorrect name as it is neither her legal nor her stage name.

[edit] Porque te vas
I think that the title is "Porque te vas" (BECAUSE you're leaving) and not "Por que te vas" (WHY are you leaving). I don't have the official lyrics, but it appears as "porque te vas" in most of the websites I've found. It also makes more sense considering the lyrics of the song.

[edit] Age
Quote from the article: "Born October 10, 1951 (1951-10-10) (age 56)" I doubt somebody will keep updating her age every year. That should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srelu (talk • contribs) 04:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
